The French, Chris, are so much better at controlling FMD (they have never had a major epidemic) because they know how to handle contagious virus and DEFRA/Pirbright clearly do not.

It is a total waste of time wearing overalls and leaving the hair/head/neck exposed.

According to DEFRA a person who gets doused in bodily fluids from an FMD infected animal and breaks out in vesicles on the hands, arms, face and chest, DOES NOT HAVE FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE. They have "HAND-FOOT-AND-MOUTH-DISEASE", CAUSED BY THE COXSACKIE VIRUS.

Only trouble is the coxsackie virus is exclusive to man and cannot be carried by animals. Despite this inconvenient fact the DEFRA storyline is still almost universally believed by a gullible British public and so-called scientists.

It's like pissing into the wind, Chris. They spout a load of crap about lessons learned and they haven't learned a bloody thing. Swarms of people running around the country vaccinating will only spread the disease.

You talk of bio-security and entry portals, washing and shampooing, NASAL SWABS???? If the virus is in the nose then the person IS INFECTED, and will TRANSMIT THAT INFECTION FOR ANYTHING UP TO 12 WEEKS!!!!
